| Obverse description | Helmeted bust of Roma facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with feathers and decorative elements, with flowing hair visible below the helmet. The legend ROMA appears to the left of the effigy and Q·MAX to the right, the latter serving as the moneyer's abbreviated signature. The denomination mark X (denoting 10 asses) is visible in the right field. The design is executed in the bold, high-relief style characteristic of late second-century BC Roman Republican coinage, with a border of dots encircling the entire field. |

| Reverse description | A cornucopia, richly filled with fruits and vegetation, is superimposed upon a horizontal thunderbolt in the central field, forming a striking symbolic composition referencing both abundance and Jovian authority. Encircling this central device is an elaborate wreath composed of an ear of barley, an ear of wheat, and assorted fruits, rendered with fine detail characteristic of the Republican engraver's craft. The reverse field is otherwise plain, with no exergual inscription or additional legend, the entire design enclosed within a border of dots. |
